ROSSENDALE Council will be looking into creating individual town councils in the future, according to the leader Coun Duncan Ruddick.
The issue was raised at the Haslingden, Helmshore and Edenfield Neighbourhood forum, held on Monday, at Edenfield Primary School, when former councillor Peter Starkey, said Whitworth Town Council had set a shining example of how they could work.
Coun Ruddick said a Government white paper encouraged communities to get involved in democracy.
